Herstmonceux Castle, East Sussex
 

Right then guys and gals this is an opinion poll for a meet to be scheduled next year.

This could be a big meet, or a small one.. all depends upon the replies to this thread. :eek3:

Who would be interested in meeting at Herstmonceux Castle in 2011 ?

There is a possibility of getting accomodation within the castle grounds, access to the science centre and tours of a scientific establishment ;)

To book accomodation I need to book .. well the sooner the better.... which means money upfront (yup lost half of you right there).

In my personal, and slightly biased, opinion this could make for a great meet.

If you would be so kind as to let me know if you are interested by PM'ing me I'll see what I will then let you know possible dates based upon the number of rooms needed for accomodation. If you have questions, comments do let me know too ! (should I run away now ?)

Cheers!

:tipwink:

looks nice

just 206 miles from me, but google maps say's i can do it in 4 hrs 36 mins i dont think soooooooooooooo i drive a car not a time machine haha.

negative thinker ! :LOL:

Sounds interesting, Laserlady. Essogirl and I would be interested :thumbup:

Count me in for this, sounds great :thumbup: ...and rooms sounds better than camping :D

My brother in law developed the Starlink AST library for handling world coordinate systems in astronomy. I might find out what this does... :ponder:

Seriously ? your brother-in-law developed starlink ? ! Not one single astronomer of when I did my BSc didn't know starlink and I don't think that has changed ! Epic !

He was big in astronomy by all accounts - Worked (or rather researched) at Rutherford Appleton.

Just might be interested in this, all the science will skid of my head but I can look as if i understand.

I'd be interested in this. Herstmonceux Castle is a great place - we went for visit last year, but too late to see the observatory.

Can I bring my own telescope :)

If its a camping event can it be when its warm please :eek:

You've got the wrong castle. Your pics are of Bodiam castle I think.

Not far away and equally as pretty though ;)
